    Supremely boring from start to finish ; plus I felt kind of insulted by the shallowness of the argumentary. Both the Palestinians and the viewers deserve better.

    This film totally condones violence and is a propgandistic vehicle for violence and suicide attacks. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

    In contrast to the clueless media cliches about suicide bombers, this offers a comprehensive and comprehending portrait of what helps to produce them.

    Must-see docu penetrates a Jenin refugee camp to follow several Palestinian children from laughing little kids in a theater group to grim actors on a grislier world stage.
